[Gasification] Replacing fuel-oil with biomass

[CAVM at aol.com]

Geoff, I am confused about what you want to do here.  Among other  things I 
think you mentioned heating used motor oil to produce gas.  I own  part of a 
used motor oil refinery in Waco, TX.  We heat used motor oil to  650F to crack 
the petroleum into gasoline and diesel fuel. There are some high  end esters we 
recycle for fuel to heat the system and some oil sludge we can use  the same 
way.  Basically we make our own gasoline base stock and diesel  from motor oil.
 
Is this what you have in mind?

I want  to produce gas by reducing scrap oil to tar free gas.I believe this 
would be  feasable using broken refractory material as a media replacing CHAR. 
If tar is  heated it could be mixed with scrap oil and turned into gas and 
perhaps by  passing the product through a suitable re heating process containing 
copper  tubing packed with copper wire. some of the gas will be turned into 
Methanol.  This liquid is a really convenient engine  fuel.
